My Summary
About Me
My name is Lisa
I am originally from Ireland
I have been registered GOOD with OFSTEAD since November 2022.
I have been a private nanny for over 20 years working in central London and America.
I live with my husband & two girls, aged 5 & 7, in our newly renovated home & large, spacious & secure garden in Garston.
I provide a home-from-home experience where all children can feel safe, calm & happy.
I have many outdoor activities available including swings, slides, large trampoline, bouncy castle, sand box, scooters, bikes etc. Indoor activities include art & crafts, painting, home corner, role play, puzzles, reading, baking/cooking etc. I aspire to have an environment where children have fun while being creative during play.
I visit local play groups, music classes, soft play, libraries, parks & woods. I believe having a varied range of activities allows children to thrive.
I have potty trained many children & have weaning experience.
I adore working with children & will endeavor to continue any routines implemented at home to ensure children in my care feel at ease as soon as they step into my home
My nanny experience has taught me how to work closely with parents to establish a relationship with children in my care.

I came across Lisa’s profile on Childcare, after seeing her profile and her extensive experience of childcare I could see she has a genuine passion for children, I automatically contacted her to see if she was able to take care of my Son as I was returning back to work from Maternity Leave.
We arranged for an initial meeting so we could meet each other and I brought along my son who she would be looking after. I have older children who came along also and she made them feel so welcome.
As soon as I met Lisa, I instantly knew that I wanted her to look after my Son. Her welcoming home from home setting was exactly what I was looking for.
Lisa was always active with the children she cares for and was always doing various activities from watching the planes landing, gymnastics and going to the local aquatic centre to feed the fish. I received pictures and updates of their day which made me feel very at ease.
I couldn’t recommend Lisa enough as a childminder. She is a pair of safe, kind hands to look after children whilst providing a loving warm family focused environment for the children the thrive in.

I can't even begin to put into words how thankful and grateful we are to Lisa! She has been looking after our daughter for about a year and a half now and she absolutely loves her! My little girl is so excited to go to Lisa and on the days she is with her, she's asking all morning for Lisa and her two daughters and she runs up the drive to knock on the door as she can't wait to get to her! We get photos, videos and updates throughout the day on the various fun activities they get up to such as playgroups, soft play, parks etc, what she's eaten, how long she's napped for etc. Lisa has a beautiful family home with many, many educational and fun toys for the children to play with. She also has a massive garden with lots for the children to play with in the summer months. We feel completely at ease leaving our daughter in the safe hands of Lisa where she is incredibly well looked after and we couldn't have wished for a better childminder for her, we feel incredibly lucky to have found her! My daughter has learnt so much from her! We are expecting another baby and will definitely be getting in touch with Lisa to look after them in the future! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our son has been with Lisa since he was 9 months old, he is now 2.5 and we dread the day we leave Lisa.
Lisa and her family have welcomed him with open arms and the love and care he gets while with her is amazing. They are always out on adventures, learning new things, visiting places and meeting new little friends - he has learnt so much while in her care.
Lisa’s setting is lovely - lots of toys, space and activities to do in a beautiful family home, we couldn’t think of a better place to send our son.
He even asks if he’s going at weekends!

I cannot speak highly enough of Lisa. She looked after our little boy from 9 months old to 2 years old and we thank our lucky stars that we found her when we did. He was always happy to see her.. she did activities with him, took him out, she was patient and kind and reassuring.. everything you could want in a childcare provider! We were always met with a smile and we never ever worried about our son when he was with Lisa! She is a one in a million!

Lisa has been looking after our daughter for over a year now, She has taught our daughter loads, she has patience, is calm and loves her like her own.
We are kept up to date with pictures and videos so we can see what she gets up to during her time there which gives us that reassurance. Her girls are gentle & kind and our little girl loves them! Beautiful safe environment we never have to worry when she’s there, she loves going, so much so 15mins before she’s due to go she stands at the door calling out for Lisa’s little girl!
She’s definitely family to us we love her!!!!
